It’s arguably the most boring launch ever for the iPhone.
You got that right. I have an iPhone 8+ with a cracked corner and barely audible speakers. I'll go get myself an iPhone 13 sometime in the next couple of months because, essentially, my iPhone is close to broken. But there's certainly no "must have" feature I see. I have no idea why anyone with an iPhone 10 through 12 would bother upgrading from a functional perspective.
What I would have liked to see is the LiDAR rolled into the base 13 model this year. That would have been a compelling upgrade as a future-proof technology to get. As it is this tells me mainstreaming of 3D photography and more useful AR is still probs a ways off anyway.
